Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor

"Bear Lord, come help me! As long as you help me take down these two humans today, I, the Myriad Demon King, swear to owe you one—no, five favors!"

Seeing that Chen Ming's condition was gradually recovering, the Myriad King could no longer care about hiding his intentions. He immediately shouted at the Bear Lord lying nearby, wanting him to join the fight.

But even though the Myriad King was screaming at the top of his lungs, the Bear Lord merely raised his head with disdain.

"What did you say, you rotten tree stump?"

"I said, the strongest Bear Lord, come help me! I'll owe you five favors!" The Myriad King could no longer care about how unreliable his teammate was. To prevent any accidents, he swallowed his pride and pleaded for the Bear Lord's aid.

Hearing the Myriad King humbling himself, the Bear Lord, who had been lying on the ground pretending to be incapacitated, immediately stood up. A cunning, humanlike expression appeared on his massive bear face.

"Alright, alright, rotten tree stump. You better keep your word, or that guy won't let you off the hook."

The Bear Lord's soul power instantly erupted, and the power of extreme gold was no longer concealed. His massive Darkgold Terrorclaw slashed out in an instant, landing heavily on Golden Crocodile Douluo, who had activated his martial soul's true form.

Even though Golden Crocodile Douluo had already pushed his ninth soul skill to its limit, facing the enormous Darkgold Terrorclaw, he didn't dare take it head-on. He forcibly stopped his ninth soul skill at the cost of backlash and activated the skill attached to his hundred-thousand-year-old torso bone.

A golden light burst forth from Golden Crocodile Douluo's body—it was the glow of Invincible Golden Body. Unlike other Invincible Golden Bodies, Golden Crocodile Douluo's version was unique. It only granted invincibility for one second at a time, but it could accumulate up to three uses and would recover one use per day.

Under Golden Crocodile Douluo's control, the massive body of the Golden Crocodile King resisted the Bear Lord's Darkgold Terrorclaw. However, even with the invincibility, the sheer impact forced him to retreat step by step. When the one second of invincibility ended, the residual force still left a faint bloodstain on Golden Crocodile Douluo's enormous body.

"Xiao Ming, run! Go back and find elder brother. He'll avenge me! The Angel God's Wrath will flatten the Star Dou Forest. I've lived two hundred years—I've already lived long enough. Run now! I'll fight these two beasts to the death today!"

Hearing the mention of the Angel God's Wrath, the Bear Lord, who had been preparing to strike again, hesitated. As a battle-hardened soul beast, the Bear Lord had crossed paths with the Angel God during the period after she killed the Auspicious Beast but before she ascended to godhood.

If not for Di Tian's timely arrival back then, using the Dragon God's Claw and a beast tide as leverage, the Bear Lord would have been killed by the Angel God, who had just reached the Title Douluo realm.

The Bear Lord remembered that beating vividly. Just thinking about the Angel God made his chest ache as if it were burning again. His supposedly claw-shredding power involuntarily wavered.

Sensing the Bear Lord's hesitation, the Myriad King unleashed a torrent of soul beast profanities at him. The personalities of the two fierce beasts had practically reversed at that moment.

Stimulated by the Myriad King's insults, the Bear Lord's temper flared. Realizing he was already on a sinking ship and couldn't escape, he gritted his teeth and continued attacking Golden Crocodile Douluo. While attacking, he loudly cursed the Myriad King as a treacherous scoundrel, claiming he'd been tricked into this mess.

Golden Crocodile Douluo was someone the Bear Lord could kill if he tried. But the problem was, the Bear Lord had no desire to face the Angelic Holy Sword, so he didn't dare go all out. Instead, he focused on helping the Myriad King capture Chen Ming so he could leave as soon as possible.

The attacks of the two fierce beasts deliberately avoided Golden Crocodile Douluo and targeted Chen Ming. At this point, Golden Crocodile Douluo could have escaped. Even if he returned to the Spirit Hall and reported everything to Qian Daoliu truthfully, Qian Daoliu wouldn't blame him. Instead, he'd wield the Angelic Holy Sword and lead the Spirit Hall's forces—including all the Title Douluo, Bibi Dong included—into the Star Dou Forest.

But Golden Crocodile Douluo refused to retreat. Though he wasn't particularly close to Chen Ming, he was determined to protect him, even at the cost of his life.

Why? Because he knew the Spirit Hall's precious angel Qian Renxue had feelings for this young man. Because he felt he had lived long enough in his two hundred years. Because he believed it was worth sacrificing his life to protect such a promising junior. And because, as one of the Spirit Hall's revered elders, he could never disgrace the Angel God's millennia of glory by fleeing from soul beasts, even if it meant dying in battle.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's martial soul's true form, originally pure gold in color, had taken on a faintly blood-red hue as he began burning his life essence in desperation.

Seeing this, fury burned within Chen Ming's heart. Though his spirit and energy were far from their peak, he seemed to have touched upon a certain realm. The power of judgment within his small sword grew stronger as Chen Ming's condition improved.

Feeling his instincts stir, Chen Ming withdrew his left-hand weapon, the Snow Swan Kiss, and gripped his sword with both hands, raising it high above his head.

Using the time Golden Crocodile Douluo had bought him, Chen Ming pushed his attributes to their limits.

At this moment, memories of his past and present lives flashed through his mind. His comprehension of the laws surged back to him, and the world's consciousness secretly unlocked his connection to the laws.

The power of judgment from Asura, the power of judgment gleaned from the Angel God's statue and the Angelic Holy Sword, the power of evil from the remnants of the God of Sin and the Rakshasa God, the power of holiness from the Angelic Holy Sword, the power of life from the Dragon Core, and the power of death from the Netherworld Scorpion—all these attributes resonated within his body.

The power of judgment was purified alongside the power of evil. A portion of the excess evil energy was converted into justice energy, which fused with the Angel God's power to become purified. The life attribute was purified completely. Finally, the powers of death and poison combined, and under Chen Ming's will, a force resembling the power of destruction—obliteration—was born.

Judgment, Life, Obliteration, Justice, Evil.

Mutual opposition and balance. Unity amidst conflict.

The five attributes converged into the sword, with the power of judgment as the core. A terrifying force erupted from the small sword in Chen Ming's hands. The once-tranquil sky was suddenly filled with thunder. The world's elemental energy, under Chen Ming's spiritual pressure and the world's assistance, rapidly gathered and transformed into various attributes.

In an instant, the atmosphere became apocalyptic.

Five forces united, and a transcendent power was born. Though its quality and quantity were far from the true transcendent force, it was undeniably real.

The moment this power emerged, the Silver Dragon King, deep within the Star Dou Forest, opened her eyes. Along with Di Tian and the Auspicious Beast, she stared in disbelief at the distant scene. Qian Daoliu in the Spirit Hall gripped the Angelic Holy Sword tightly, slashing open space to rush toward the battlefield.

In the divine realm, the Asura God looked up in shock. The Sea God, who had been troubled over finding a successor, shivered involuntarily. The Goddess of Life, who had only a sliver of divine attention on the Douluo Continent, forcibly pulled down a fragment of the God of Destruction's consciousness, breaking the rules to focus on the situation below.

The Bear Lord fled. The moment that power appeared, he erupted with speed rivaling that of an agility-type soul beast and disappeared without a trace. All his pride as the Bear of Bears and a super soul beast was abandoned in an instant, leaving the Myriad King to face Chen Ming's sword alone.

This sword carried divine majesty. This sword defined the realm of gods. This sword made even the Silver Dragon King beneath the Lake of Life instinctively curl up. The Gods of Destruction and Life were rendered speechless in shock.

Because this sword was called:

"The Sword of Judgment Across the Three Realms!"
